Loch Etive charter boat outing


10 member's fished the charter boat on Sat. Arriving at taynuilt slip for 8.30am some small boats had already arrived on the beach. We boarded the boat at 9pm and started fishing at 9.30pm.

There were small spurs about at first, Mark catching them 2 at a time. The other guys getting into the action as well nice to see.














Then the bigger ones appeared along with the smaller ones. First one for myself at 3lbs 11ozs but that didn't last long with Iain landing a nice spur at 5lbs 1oz. The whitting also made an appearance and as you see with Iain whitting they did not last long if you did not land them. Eddie then landed a nice spur of 6lbs 1oz the best spur of the day. I came close to what I thought was a good fish as the rod tip got pulled over and a lot of head shaking was going on. Eddie had a wee sweat on almost sure I heard a sigh of relief as it was wrapped up making it feel bigger than it was.

We had a sweep of £2.50 for the heaviest spur that was won by Eddie and £2.50 for any other heaviest species. This was won by Matt with a 1lb 7oz lsd. Well done guys.

A good day and banter too as everyone had a shot of winning any one of the sweeps but just getting pipped by ozs from Eddie and Matt.

Looking forward to the next outing guys.
